Are you able to be traumatized once more? As a result of Yellowjackets Season 4 is formally confirmed!
Whereas it has been a little bit over a month for the reason that intense Yellowjackets Season 3 finale aired, we solely simply obtained affirmation that Season 4 of the hit Showtime sequence is about, and we are actually extra excited than ever.
Nonetheless, what do we all know thus far about this season after the harrowing Season 3 finale? Who can we count on will come again? What’s going to occur to Shauna now? Here’s what we all know.
What Is The Yellowjackets Season 4 Premiere Date?
On the time of scripting this, in Could 2025, there’s no set premiere date for Yellowjackets Season 4, which is not that a lot of a shock, contemplating it was solely simply renewed, in line with Deadline. There is not even a author’s room happening. It may be a while earlier than we get updates on this one.
That is just about anticipated. The complete third season aired as a part of the 2025 TV schedule, so it will be fairly stunning if we bought the Season 4 premiere inside this identical 12 months. Honestly, I counsel ready at the very least a few years for Season 4 since Showtime tends to take a while with its exhibits.
The Yellowjackets Season 4 Forged
Alright, the solid for Yellowjackets is all the time a curious factor, contemplating these characters are offed greater than we would prefer to say. On the time of scripting this, there is no affirmation on who from the Yellowjackets solid will return, however there are just a few we are able to undoubtedly count on to see extra of. These embody:
- Melanie Lynskey and Sophie Nélisse as older and youthful Shauna
- Christina Ricci and Samantha Hanratty as older and youthful Misty
- Tawny Cypress and Jasmin Savoy Brown as older and youthful Tai
- Courtney Eaton as youthful Lottie
- Sophie Thatcher as youthful Natalie
- Liv Hewson as youthful Van
- Nia Sondaya as Akilah
- Warren Kole as Jeff
- Jenna Burgess as Melissa
- Sarah Desjardins as Callie
- Elijah Wooden as Walter
- Ashley Sutton as Hanna
These are the characters we have now gotten near over the previous few seasons, those who’ve survived, and the youngsters who stay throughout their time within the woods.
Nonetheless, there’s loads that goes into this solid. Simply because a personality is useless doesn’t imply it is going to be the final we see of them. An excellent instance of that’s Ella Purnell, who has just about constantly made visitor appearances as Jackie since her most important function in Season 1—and her character’s demise.
That mentioned, there are many characters who might come again in some form or kind. The mysterious id of the Pit Lady was lastly revealed to be Mari, so she is useless and eaten at this level (sorry, not sorry), however we might find yourself seeing her return in some way. Grownup Van has additionally been killed off, however with how her demise ended, I’d not be shocked if she in some way haunted Tai.
One other large second was Grownup Lottie’s demise – and in actuality, I believe all of us noticed this coming in some way as a result of Lottie herself felt like she was marked for demise from the very starting. However once we spent ages attempting to theorize who would play grownup Lottie, it is stunning to see her killed off the next season. We might find yourself seeing her once more in some way, as effectively.
Moreover, Hilary Swank had a big visitor function on the present within the later episodes. I’d not be shocked if she ended up coming again for an even bigger half in Season 4 and turning into a recurring or perhaps a distinguished solid member.
What Is Yellowjackets Season 4 Going To Be About?
Season 3 of Yellowjackets had a lot stuff occur in these ten episodes, and whereas there’s not a lot on the market for hints of what might occur in Season 4, there are some. Here’s what we all know:
Season 4 Will Most Seemingly Present The Rescue Plotline – And Probably Them Reintegrating Into Society
So, clearly, in Season 3, we’re nonetheless within the wilderness. Issues are occurring, and persons are dying. However everyone knows that the women get again to society sooner or later—and Season 4 could be the beginning of that, as we did see Natalie contact somebody on that satellite tv for pc telephone to provoke some type of rescue.
This implies Season 4 may see the women lastly reintegrate into society.
And that is one thing that the showrunners are wanting ahead to. In an interview with Teen Vogue in April 2025, Ashley Lyle commented on the truth that they have been wanting ahead to this second for years, and the thought of introducing the workforce again into the actual world and the way it will have an effect on them in spite of everything this demise:
One factor that we have all the time been enthusiastic about from the conception of the present is telling the story of them making an attempt to reintegrate into society post-rescue. That is actually proper, juicy stuff. And if we’re given the chance to inform it, we’ll be actually excited to dig in.
I imply, sure, signal me the heck up; I need all the juicy stuff.
Shauna Will Be ‘Untethered’ By Her Household In Season 4
One thing else that was an enormous a part of Season 3 was watching Shauna attempt to hold a comparatively regular life even if she is a darkish human—she ended up being the individual beneath the antlers anyway, the Antler Queen, so we know she did some messed-up stuff with everybody in these woods.
On the finish of Season 3, Callie and Josh (her daughter and husband) go away Shauna behind due to how far she is falling. Now, she does not have a household to carry her again. In that Teen Vogue interview, showrunner Jonathan Lisco admits that that is one thing he is wanting ahead to as a result of now she’s ‘untethered’ and does not have the duty of household to maintain her from doing what she desires:
I believe now that Shauna is untethered to household, to obligation, to this home jail that she’s put herself in, we imagine form of on function, originally of the present, as a result of she was attempting to reside usually — now that it is out within the open, that each one has fallen away and people conventions have form of eroded and are available down, now I need to actually see what she does.
I am really lowkey scared about what she’ll do subsequent…however I suppose we’ll have to attend and see.
Yellowjackets Will Most Seemingly Not Finish After Season 4
The very last thing we all know is previous information, however one thing to bear in mind anyway. Season 4 of Yellowjackets will probably not be the top.
Whereas it did take a while for Season 4’s renewal, the creators instructed Leisure Weekly in 2023 that the present is on monitor for a five-season story. So needless to say when Season 4 does come, it won’t be the top of those ladies.
What are you wanting ahead to with Yellowjackets Season 4? Ugh, I would like this subsequent season to return now. How am I going to attend a lot longer to seek out out what occurs?
